Between the Lines

“Between the Lines” focused on the work and everyday lives of young poets in Denmark and in the Baltic States with three virtual, literary events. The first event took place in 2020 and the next two in 2021.

Live readings with young poets

The first live reading of 2021 was completely virtual due to the Covid-19 situation. It was with the Danish poet Marie Skipper and the Estonian poet Kaisa Kuslapuu. The second reading included the Angolan poet Aaiún Nin and the Lithuanian poet Dominykas Norkūnas. This reading was held in the garden of the Danish Embassy in Vilnius as well as streamed online. Both times, the readings were followed by a moderated discussion about what it is like to be a young poet in the respective countries, the artistic work of the poets as well as the challenges and themes they each address in their poetry.
